Working Conditions and Pay Survey - DANZ
DANZ is conducting essential research on the conditions of work and rates of pay across New Zealand dance. The survey form is now on the DANZ website and we urge you to fill it in. The more replies we get, the clearer the picture we will have of pay rates and the more use this will be when setting your own fees or negotiating pay.
